Fox News chief Roger Ailes released a book recently and has been on a book tour promoting it. In the process, Ailes gave an interview to the Hollywood Reporter in which he suggested that CNN was "out of the news business" due to its increased reliance on human-interest and sensationalism.
Those comments apparently didn't sit well with CNN head Jeff Zucker.
Zucker today spouted off about Fox News' political influence, saying "the Republican Party is being run out of NewsCorp headquarters, masquerading as a news channel."
Considering that part of Ailes' initial interview was that he was not particularly worried about CNN, it's doubtful Ailes would consider this outburst particularly meaningful.
Still, Republican National Committee head Reince Priebus set the record straight.
Hey Jeff Zucker, we're the Republican Party and we speak for ourselves, pal. Have a great weekend. cc: @CNN @FoxNews— Reince Priebus (@Reince) January 10, 2014
Communist propaganda is still a hard sell with hardworking, taxpaying Americans. There are still a lot of us out here.
CNN isn’t competing with Foxnews. It is competing with the other network and cable leftist news organizations. The audience of CNN is the same as MSNBC,CNBC,ABC,NBC,CBS etc.
You make a great point. You’re right.
begs the question what he is masquerading as... uhhhhh
Foxnews has no competition, they are the sole source news service for half the US population.
Actually I think it's the other way around. The media are dutiful underlings to the 'rat-left.
Hey Reince, I’m A Republican but the RNC doesn’t speak for me, I speak for myself.
“the Republican Party is being run out of NewsCorp headquarters, masquerading as a news channel”
If he was talking about the big government crony capitalist amnesty promoting GOP elite, he may not have been far wrong. Newscorp has been promoters of amnesty for some time, via their print venue at WSJ, and the GOP elite IS “following” them.
I notice Fox doesn't hire "thunderdykes" either...
Remember, this is the same guy that WROTE Obama’s Styrofoam columns speech, and put NBC firmly in Obama’s camp over Hillary, because it “...provided better optics, and a better story.”
This is called projection.
Okay I’ll bite whats a lumshevak?
Yup.
Always happens...just like the Republican Party has done.
A purposeful departure from controlled flight, coupled in pitch, roll, and yaw. It’s a dramatic maneuver often performed at airshows and also as part of flight training — most frquently in the military — to teach students recovery techniques. Violent, disorienting, and hard on the aircraft...but a heckuva ride.
STFU scrotum head! Thanks for finding my grandmother’s glasses.
“Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon!” Keep giving it right back to them, they hate to be made fun of!
Very weak, Zucker.
